(Phases 1 and 2 originally approved by Planning Commission November 16, 1983). Mr. E. Brennan, owner, explained that he is requesting a change on the second phase to construct a shingled gabled roof on the second story addition instead of a flat roof as previously approved. He presented color elevations showing both roof-lines. The remainder of the plan will remain as approved. Phase 1 has been completed and gutters and downspouts will be connected to'the retention system. Building Com- missioner's report stated that there was no apparent difficulty with the change. Commission decided that this change should be reviewed by the Architectural Board. R. Bierman moved to foxward the Brennan Auto Body exterior change request to phase 2 of the alteration at 25044 Lorain Road to the Architectural Board of Review and the Fire Department, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 4) Lorain American Amoco Service Station, 27830 Lorain Road. Proposal to renovate front of building. (Heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals September 2, 1987). M..Gates, contractor, and M. Cook, owner, presented plans to alter the front of the office area with new windows and a b ronze mansard; a six foot board on board fence will be installed on the rear property line to shield from.the adjacent residential neighbor. Mr. Morgan pointed out that the Building Commissioner's report stated that there has been a problem with the storage of junk cars and the lack of screening. He also stated that previously; when another nroposal for this property was before the Commission, the same condition had existed and he does not believe that this proposal goes far enough. Commission agreed that a 6 foot fence is not sufficient and should be higher. Mr. Thomas stated that this would be an improvement, however,.he believes that they should eliminate some of the junk cars. Mr. Cook stated that they had, on occassion, cars up.to about 2 months; that they had a good business, but a very small lot; that they had received violation notices, but had never-been cited; and that-they had been inspected last week and no - violations had been found. Mre Bierman pointed out that there is no - screening on the east property line and he is objecting to the pians si.nce they are not to scale.and is requesting that the Building Depart- ment require more complete plans. It was clarified that a variance had been granted for the existing 6 foot encroachment and the 2 foot overhang of the proposed mansard. T. Morgan moved to fozward the plans for the Lorain American Amoco Service Station proposal to the Architec- tural Board of Review and to the Building Department for any.recommenda- tions that they might have as to specific items they would like to see incorporated into this plan as a result of any of the complaints ttiat they may have issued to these people, particularly with regard to screening, dumpster location,.or anything of that nature; and request ^ that a more detailed.site plan be presented to the Architectural.Board of Review, seconded by J. Thomas.. Roll call on motion: Morgan, Thomas, Bierman, Traczyk, and Burns, yes. Mr. Betts, no. Motion carried.
